in proving honor i need to speak with skjor when i am in whiterun, the marker does not have the black box around it indicating that i can just walk there, but when i go to bleakwood basin where is says he is, he is not there, and the marker moved back to whiterun. any help at all would be much appreciated!

Have you actually gone in to Jorrvaskr to look for him?

If he isn't, wait out 2-3 days for him to return.

Just look around in Jorrvaskr.... Youre bound to find him there and if you dont do what Hanaisse said.... Wait 2 to 3 days...

yeah i looked thoroughly through all of Jorrvaskr, but i didnt try to wait for him to come back ill give it a shot thanks

ive waited quite a few days tried loading past saves looking for him everywhere. doesnt seem to be a solution for this

When is the last time you remember seeing Skjor? Can you go back to a save from then?

see i just thought of that, and the only time i remember seeing him was right when i was walking to whiterun for the first time when him and aela and other companions were fighting the giant. now it always says he is there at bleakwood basin and i dont have a save from that far back. i was only a few hours into my new character so not a huge deal, i just hope it doesnt happen again when i start over

Uh, not to be a huge downer, but I remember also running into the Companion group early in this play through, before joining the Companions & I didn't help their fight because I was too busy looting bodies when I noticed a Companion was killed. Since I already finished the game on my PS3, I know not to allow named NPCs to be killed, if I can help it, so I immediately reloaded.

Skjor is pretty impt early on so hopefully he's not allowed to be killed at that point.
